Nobody is saying he should have slid the protection. They’re saying he should have slid right into the massive pocket. It was a 2 man rush with a double team on the right edge, two DTs playing contain, and then Dawkins blocking Chris Jones on the left edge. All you can ask of any LT matched up against Chris Jones is to lose slowly, and Dawkins did that. Josh had time and room to slide into the pocket, but he didn’t. He locked onto Shakir and stood directly in the way of where Jones was pushing Dawkins, ie. the worst possible place to be. Josh had a clean pocket and two open receivers. He doesn’t make many bad plays, but he did that time.

Oh yeah. I would be disappointed if someone didn't furnish that apparel for him.

Many have already said London Fletcher, but it bears repeating just how criminally underrated his time on the Bills was. Ray Lewis and Zach Thomas made the Pro Bowl over him every year at MLB, even in years where Fletch had better stats. I'm glad he finally started getting his due as a Redskin - he was a truly great player.

And there it is…. He also cast doubt on the notion that Musk’s opposition to the “One Big Beautiful Bill Act” is jeopardizing the bill’s chances of success, saying he’s “very confident” that the bill will pass the Senate before July 4. “The Republican Party has never been united like this before. It’s never been. It’s actually more so than it was three days ago,” Trump said. https://www.nbcnews.com/politics/donald-trump/trump-elon-musk-consequences-funds-democratic-candidates-rcna211605 Musk gets the distance he needs from Trump and DC - at minimum Tesla dealerships will stop burning. Trump gets the bill. GOP takes away the ridiculous Dem talking point about President Musk and fighting the oligarchy nonsense. My opinion - Trump was comfortable with this after the Wisconsin SC election a few months back that Elon put 20 plus million of his own money into and lost. Elon himself is not going to be a king maker going forward in politics. His Trump endorsement was unique and awesome. But not THE reason Trump won. Which was a confluence of several factors. Elon’s most important contribution for Rs going forward is X. So long as it exists the Dems no longer control the narrative. And that’s what is vital for Rs in elections. Elon will be an influence and important voice. On X. Not campaigning with Elon himself. It’s no longer necessary. You can’t replicate what he did with Trump. It never works that way in politics. But he will help R causes as a continued thought influencer and that’s what matters.

Yep. And the writer doesn’t understand the salary cap. Only $3.56M in pay and cap would go to a team that traded for Teller.

The best part is the "Hope you like Poodles" door mat.

At least you're throwing around something besides HCQ these days. And yet Trump pardoned every J6 participant. While I completely agree with what Dan says here, I wonder how that correlates with the Trump pardons of all J6 insurrectionists.

I actually don't disagree that it has to come up. Raising it to 69 seems perhaps extreme (I believe that's the number in the BBB, but could be wrong). One wonders why Republicans don't simply increase the top marginal tax rate to, say, 39.6% and use some of those monies to fund social security. But hey, it's MAGA's show now.

The only two I had even heard of are the Goo Goo Dolls and Rick James.

When the defense gives up 30+, isnt it common sense that we need to outscore opponent to win? You have some weird twisted logic. Bottom line, we have a good enough offense to win- if Josh plays within himself. Too many missed chances in the '24 Chiefs game, at crucial moments. Not for a lack of playmakers, but not executing and some questionable playcalling at times. OTOH, the defense doesnt have a Josh Allen. So we end up giving up massive points, to a middling Chiefs offense in 2024/2023, and had no answers for Burrow in 2022. Not sure what football game youre watching. Stats are stats, useful as I should know in a profession full of them. But also, the knowledge of football and knowing our team cant do a lick of anything to get off the field on 3rd downs. We take major luck/breaks to keep with elite offenses. Im not counting on the Hardmans of the world to fumble at the 1. Or Mark Andrew's to cough it up and drop a key 2 point play. Our defense has been lucky at many moments. We need more talent on that side, obviously Beane agrees with certai posters here. Beane also missed on several high defensive picks and DL FAs. which got us into this problem. We cant have every position be an all pro. We had the QB/Wr elite combo- how'd that work out? Missed on OL, DL then. Now we have the OL in a good spot and need a very good DL to compete--- this is a Coleman thread after all, hes going to be alot better in Year 2 from what I've seen in. person.

Only about 50 times since it has happened form every angle available. Now you're moving the goalposts into an entirely different argument. Another losing one mind you, but the more popular one of "he should have thrown to Diggs". Allen 1000% made the right decision to throw to Shakir. He knew Shakir would be open for the TD and he went for it. He made the right decision and threw the right pass. You never pass up a TD because you don't know what will happen the next play or any play after that. Fumbles, flukes, etc. You take the TD. No it was 100% on Dion. Allen holds zero blame. Your original suggestion of Allen moving up into the pocket would have led to a guaranteed sack and is something you *never* do against a bull-rush. And shifting the line against a 4 man uniform front with a defender motioning a potential blitz on the opposite makes me question your understanding of the game.

I guess you had to do something to detract from how stupid you look with the “hard-working husband and father that I want to be neighbors with” bit. You’ve partially succeeded.

You clearly did not watch the clip I just posted. If you don't think Allen has opportunity to get a clean pass off he sees/feels how deep the pressure is from Dion then I don't know what to tell you. Allen had a ton of space to make a cleaner throw or buy time to find a different throw rather than stand there immobile and get stepped on. It's on both Dion and Allen. And once again, Shakir is running free in full sprint PRIOR to Allens throw. Nothing about what Shakir did prior to Allen making the pass slowed Allens throw down. If you simply watch the clips you can see this clear as day. Dion lost his rep...Allen stood still in the pocket...and the result was getting stepped on and short arming a game winning TD pass to a wide open WR in the endzone.

Goos rick James 10,000 maniacs (Jamestown but close enough) talas

I am simply using the language every right wing wannabe revolutionary uses when they’re mad at the school board or whatever

What in the world!? You wanted Allen to slide protection against a 4 man rush and a uniform defensive front with a blitzer threatening on the opposite side!? And you wanted Allen to step up into the pocket, which would have hastened him being hit by Jones? QB's step up in the pocket to avoid pass rushers coming on the backside. Not pass rushers bull rushing. If Allen steps up, Jones swims inside and blasts Allen into the turf There is one person to blame on that play and his name rhymes with Peion Pawkins. Maybe an honorable mention to Shakir route running taking a tad longer than it should have.

Nobody keeps trying to promote 2nd rate football more than promo…

I know it's not great football, but there have been several close games with interesting finishes.

Again, no disrepsect, but that is still not accurate, you said Shakir got held up and it made Allen hold the ball a second too long. But Allen throws the pass before Shakir even encounter Reid or makes his cut. So again, no disrespect, but what you said is just not what happened. And the result was Shakir was right where the ball was headed and open in the endzone for the TD catch had it not been short armed because Dion lost his rep against Jones and Allen failed to see/feel the pressure to slide and make a clean slow. Shakir made a move on Reid, won his rep and cut on Reid, and was wide open for the go ahead and possible game winning TD. The entire failure of the play was on Dion and Allen, Shakir did his job on this play and that is a route you will take from your WR's 10 out 10 times.

That was what I was afraid of. Venice is the one I have not seen, and it’s kind of tugging on me. I’d like to include that in a trip also seeing Lake Como and some of Switzerland. We just saw the Amalfi coast on a day trip and I’d love more time there, but I want to see more new places.

At some point he's going to find white feather boas hanging in his locker

Soccer, tennis and baseball is all that's on Sunday.

Rick James arguably at the top.
